YOUR INVITED!


Ladies Fall Camping Sleepover!!!!

Saturday,October 10th, 1:00 p.m to ? a.m. next day.
To benefit the Forget-Me-Not Children's program for Liberia, helping 'special needs' kids! www.globalorphanoutreach.org

Come join us camping at a beautiful county park near the Ellsworth, Wisconsin area. We will have campers already set up for you (no tents)! We will have adventurous hiking and scavenger hunt as well as a delicious chili supper with all the fixings and carmel apple crisp, which is provided!! Enjoy a cruise down the river in a powerboat, to view the beautiful Fall colors that we will have available. (Boat can take up to 7 people at a time). Plus, we will have Unique African items for sale, so you can shop for the holidays-come prepared!!:0) (All proceeds will go to benefit special needs children in Liberia).

Coffee, juice and donuts in the morning!!

We know how much fun it is getting together for our woman's sleepovers! We thought maybe we could incorporate a sleepover that benefits special needs children in Liberia as well.*We are asking for a “suggested donation" of $50 per person. Please consider what is takes to put into this, and give at will. You may give more if you feel led!!! All of this goes directly in the FMN fund for helping special needs children in Liberia.

This is open to ALL adoptive families, those LOOKING into adoption or just THINKING about it, or ladies who just want to have a great time and support a good cause. The more the merrier! You will need a sleeping bag, pillow, soda and snacks to share, and your sense of Humor.

If you would love to be a part of this fun gathering, please email Christina Hoffman ...hope4girl2003@yahoo.com. Or call my cell #651-353-5248.

We really need to have a count of people, as soon as possible, to make sure we have enough campers.We look forward to meeting you there!!

Heaven is the face of a little girl

With dark brown eyes

That disappear when she smiles.

Heaven is the place

Where she calls my name

Says, “Daddy please come play with me for awhile.”



Chorus:



God, I know, it’s all of this and so much more,

But God, You know, that this is what I’m aching for.

God, you know, I just can’t see beyond the door.

So right now...



Heaven is the sound of her breathing deep,

Lying on my chest, falling fast asleep while I sing.

And Heaven is the weight of her in my arms,

Being there to keep her safe from harm while she dreams



And God, I know, it’s all of this and so much more,

But God, You know, that this is what I’m longing for

God, you know, I just can’t see beyond the door.



Bridge:



But in my mind’s eye I can see a place

Where Your glory fills every empty space.

All the cancer is gone,

Every mouth is fed,

And there’s no one left in the orphans’ bed.

Every lonely heart finds their one true love,

And there’s no more goodbye,

And no more not enough,

And there’s no more enemy (no more).
